weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.
15
Moreover
there are
workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber,
and all manner of cunning men for every manner of work.
16
Of the gold, the silver, and the brass,
and the iron,
there is
no number. Arise
therefore,
and be doing, and the L
ORD
be with thee.
17
David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son,
saying,
18
Is
not the
L
ORD
your God with you? and hath he
not
given you rest on every side? for he hath given the
inhabitants of the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the L
ORD
, and before his
people.
19
Now set your heart and your soul to seek the L
ORD
your God; arise therefore, and build
ye the sanctuary of the L
ORD
God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the L
ORD
, and the holy vessels
of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the L
ORD
.
CHAPTER CHRONICLES 23
So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2
And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3
Now the
Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls,
man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.
4
Of which, twenty and four thousand
were
to set
forward the work of the house of the L
ORD
; and six thousand
were
officers and judges:
5
Moreover
four thousand
were
porters; and four thousand praised the L
ORD
with the instruments which I made,
said David,
to praise
therewith.
6
And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi,
namely,
Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7
Of the Gershonites
were,
Laadan, and Shimei.
8
The sons of Laadan; the chief
was
Jehiel, and
Zetham, and Joel, three.
9
The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These
were
the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
10
And the sons of Shimei
were,
Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and
Beriah. These four
were
the sons of Shimei.
11
And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but
Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to
their
father’s house.
12
The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
13
The sons of Amram; Aaron
and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons
for ever, to burn incense before the L
ORD
, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.
14
Now
concerning
Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
15
The sons
of Moses
were,
Gershom, and Eliezer.
16
Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel
was
the chief.
17
And
the sons of Eliezer
were,
Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of
Rehabiah were very many.
18
Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.
19
Of the sons of Hebron;
Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20
Of the sons of
Uzziel; Micah the first, and Jesiah the second.
